Antwuan Dixon. Dylan rieder dipped out (of course not by choice) seemingly right before he was about to enter his prime. Ali boulala. Trainwreck. Ragdoll. Spanky. Nick dompierre. Mike mo. Bastien Salabanzi. Devine Calloway. Shecklers injuries really took a toll. The guy is obviously a living legend and his spot in the proverbial HOF is cemented, but he could have been so much better.

Everyone in the movie "Grind" seems to have fallen off. Matt Beach, Chad Fernandez, Sheckler, Tom Green, Bucky, Bam...
[close]

hahahah i totally forgot that Chad and Danger Ehren were the main rivals/villains in that movie.

Bucky is still winning a fuck ton of those dew tour type vert comps, nobody really talks abt him anymore tho.

also Dylan Rieder was an extra???

Why is Chad Fernandez on this list? In Thrasher's The Storm article the guy said that he had a shoe out and made tons of money. Sounds like he peaked at the right time, the only time he did something right...

Mike Rusczyk and Justin Strubing were both years ahead of their time and stuck on Foundation when they were transitioning to SoCal handrail skating. If they came up now, Mike would probably fit perfectly on Polar and Strubing would pop up regularly in GX1000 clips.

Travis Erickson put out one amazing part and vanished.

Jeremy Reeves, and to a lesser extent, Russ Milligan.

Pat Burke has so much potential, but if he never does anything at the level of his Slave part, that's fine. That part is near perfect.

Jose Rojo seems to be incapable of passing Tiltmode punchline status.

I was always a huge fan of Jan Kliewer's skating. Did he peak in Europe?

one of my all time favs

Not sure if Forrest could be one of the best ever if a few sponsors gave him their full support, or if he'd spend all his money on drugs, hookers and cars and be burnt in a month. But we definitely haven't seen him film a part to his fullest abilities.

And again, fuck Toy Machine and Sinclair and Ed for not putting him on. I'm never supporting anything tum yeto related

I feel as if John Rattray had more to give, a little too early for his own style, and moving to éS at the worst time. Nick Dompierre coulda woulda shoulda had an incredible part in since day one, but that party life and such. To me these guys are like the ruined orgasms of skateboarding, it's good, but there's no climax.
Total newbie

Evan Schiefelbine was another one of those dudes who's potential was never utilized. I remember Cliff saying that Blind sorta dropped him for no reason a few years after this part.

At one point fabrizio santos was hyped real hard. Pat Cocoran if life had let him skate. And last but not least the Ball, this Moroccan kid who quit skating to be a hipster.

Brent Atchley.

He still rips but the timing was never quite right for him. Just another reason Element sucks.
